Boy Meets World

If you were a 90s kid you probably grew up knowing about the hit abc series Boy Meets World. The premise of the show was about a boy named Corey Matthews, who navigated the perils of growing from a boy to a man, with his best friend (and total babe) Shawn Hunter, and Corey's first love, Topanga Lawrence. I recently binged on the show when I saw it was on Hulu and fell in love all over again. I’ve asked other women if they were team Corey or team Shawn, and to be honest, it’s a tough call. Both were adorable. Corey Matthews was an overall good guy. He was the epitome of the boy-next-door. He was also smart, goofy, loyal, and committed to Topanga Lawrence for the long haul. Then there was Shawn. Shawn Hunter was the bad boy. He had a rough life, but, he was the rebel with a good heart, which made him even hotter. He also had a sensitive side, and when he hooked up with his girlfriend Angela when the show went into its later seasons, I was hooked. I was definitely rooting for those two to last. Boy Meets World was one of those shows that represented a more innocent time. A time before technology and trashy television started taking over. I believe that’s what made it so special. It was a good, clean show about growing up. I wonder if there’ll ever be something like it to come around, again. It’d be a tough act to follow.

A Year Of Being Ghosted

Ghosting: the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication. I’ve been ghosted by every guy I’ve met within the past two years. About  six  to be exact. ·        The first guy pursued me and then got shady whenever I asked him about what he did for a living and where he lived. When he started dodging and avoiding questions, wouldn’t initiate dates, and slowly stopped keeping in touch with me altogether, eventually, all communication ceased. ·        The second guy was someone I met through a family member. He was super cool, very smart, handsome, and funny, but didn’t want to be in a relationship and acted like he didn’t want to be seen with me publicly. When we had plans to meet for an outing, he didn’t show up, and then texted me about a week later with an apology. We chilled at my place a few times, had a few phone conversations, and exchanged occasional texts, but eventually he stopped responding to me

Teacher Table Talk: When Parents Attack

As an English teacher, a core belief I’ve held close since the beginning of my career has been the importance of relationship building. I believe that if great relationships between teachers, students, and parents are established at the beginning of the school year, everything else will fall into place. Authentically modeling, practicing, and establishing mutually respectful and professional relationships within my classroom has been the bridge for effective communication, solid classroom management, and creating a safe and effective learning environment that fits each of my student’s needs.  And though I’ve seen and experienced the benefits of great relationship building, unfortunately, there have been times when some students and parents have not been receptive or interested in my efforts to establish connections that would best serve all parties involved. I’ve also noticed and shared spaces with other educators, school counselors, and administrators who’ve experienced the same. And

How To Respond To A Nasty Email

Technology has made many people bold, rude, and incredibly messy. Often to the point where some may hide behind words they’ve typed instead of verbally communicating a message they want to convey. Such can be the case when it comes to sending emails. Ah, emails. You know what they are. Electronic messages that can be quickly drafted, sent, and misinterpreted (because you can’t always interpret tones or emotions through them). Which is why it’s key to know how to respond to nasty emails if they should ever come your way – especially in the workplace.       As a working professional, there have been plenty of times when a coworker or superior sent an email my way that was petty, mad disrespectful, and unprofessional. And before I learned how to properly utilize email etiquette, my first instinct would always be to clap back. I just felt the need to respond and to communicate that I wouldn’t allow anyone, no matter who they were, to disrespect me. And while I haven’t taken things too far
